Abstract

Molecular study using the NGS technique to obtain the genome sequences of the SARS-Con2 virus from the positive cases identified in the Health Department of the Valencian Community. With the data obtained, a molecular epidemiological analysis of the genetic variation of the virus in this department can be carried out from the beginning of the outbreak until its end. In addition, these sequences will contribute to increase the genomic sequences of this virus in world databases that will allow epidemiological studies to be carried out both nationally and worldwide. With the information generated, it can be put into context with the clinical data of the patients affected by the SARS-CoV-2 infection and it will be possible to identify if there is any relationship or any cluster of the virus with the highest prevalence or worst prognosis in our department. of health.
